"Did this work?" Zeion asked himself, trying to convince the person in front of him, speaking firmly like a mature man. Thanks to his encounters with several people, they usually used a formal tone, which gave an impression of elegance.But since he uttered those words earlier, there had been no response from the man. The atmosphere continued to buzz silently with question marks.With folded hands and tightly closed eyes, there was turmoil within his mind."Hmm... very well!" he said, displaying an intimidating glare. "But can you explain why you're rejecting this offer, even though you must realize the benefits of accepting it?""I do realize that what you're doing is to ensure the continuity of this tavern, but it's too hasty. I know nothing about this town, and you surely regard me as a stranger! It would be very odd for you to easily accept me as the successor of this tavern...""Indeed, I understand that! This shop has been around for quite some time, and I'm getting older. I wou
A mysterious man, who appeared to be smiling at him, sent shivers down Zeion's body with the curve of his lips."I'm impressed that you're able to defeat these people!" he said in a casual tone.Zeion's eyes narrowed as he threw his words, "What do you want? And who are you?""Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Zin! I am a member of the White Fang clan..."After hearing the word 'clan', Zeion became even warier. It was evident the presence of this person did not bode well.A sudden gust of wind touched Zeion's ears as if suggesting he should leave. However, it was not easy to do so; he still had to engage in conversation with that person before he could leave."So, what's your business here?" Zeion asked firmly.Zin chuckled at this firm attitude, his narrow eyes combined with a smirk creating a threatening atmosphere.
"How could this happen, why was your daughter arrested by those people?" Zeion hurriedly asked the question.The response given by the tavern owner was certainly not as enthusiastic as his own, his face still covered in beads of sweat with an empty-eyed gaze. His hand continued to rub his throbbing head.But he still said, "They came, then they acted roughly, Amy tried to stop them, but she ended up receiving rough treatment, they also destroyed this place and left a message that if you don't come soon, they will kill Amy..."Zeion's body felt as if it were being crawled over by tiny ants spreading throughout his body."So, this is what the message from those people meant!" Zeion stood up with a serious expression, his eyes staring off into a corner room while contemplating what treatment Amy might have received."Sir..."The old man's hand grasped his, stari
It's clear that if Zeion were to act directly, it wouldn't be advantageous; he must be cautious of his opponent's attitude.However, here they seem a little surprised; Zeion isn't on guard. His face remains calm with sharp eyes."What's wrong? Are you afraid to face me?""Hmm... no, I'm just surprised by all of this!"Zin raised his eyebrows in response, "Surprised? What do you mean? We're in a fight, can't you take it seriously?""That's not what I meant. I just wonder why this has to happen? Why does this fight have to happen?"Daigo and his group sharpened their gaze; of course, to them, Zeion's words sounded absurd."It's clear, this issue arose because you boldly presented yourself as a disruptor to this clan!""That could be a reason!" Zeion sighed deeply. "And I also realize that my actions might not have been
With the actions that had stirred hearts, they observed Zin lying helpless there.Tap! Tap!At that moment, Daigo stepped forward, slowly approaching, his thoughts inscrutable, but his eyes never leaving what lay before him."What is this person going to do?" Zeion wondered inwardly."It's truly pathetic. I thought he would be more useful for longer, but it seems his limit ends here."Zeion squinted upon hearing these words. They weren't directed at him, but they seemed to mirror his past.Daigo picked up the sword lying there, then...Crash...Zin's head was struck off just like that, a moment that made people want to vomit. But they didn't look away; it was a duty that had to be fulfilled."That was an interesting fight earlier, but it's a shame your abilities weren't used properly," Daigo continued, standing tall, his body exuding intimidation."What's with this person? The aura within him is completely different from anything I've ever seen...""What if your abilities were used to
"Stop, you could kill me..." Zeion murmured weakly.Unfortunately, it was futile. Daigo with anger filling his face, continued to deliver punches.His voice resembled the sound of fireworks exploding in the silent night, clan members still watching could only smile with Joy. Satisfaction with what Zeion had done could now be avenged.Dash...A hard blow stopped it all, a powerful strike landed on Zeion's head. Teeth mixed with spattering blood.Slowly, Daigo stood upright, his eyes showing no satisfaction at seeing how weak Zeion had become."Huh... you insolent brat! You're just an amateur who thinks your abilities are great..."Zeion faintly heard Daigo, but it wasn't just his voice he heard. Voices from the past suddenly echoed back.Eyes glaring just like back then, filled with disgust and fear."Why am I the only one who always receives this condition?"The lack of movement prompted Daigo to start walking away, leaving the rest to other members. And, it wouldn't matter, whether t
This problem did not simply end with Daigo's defeat as the leader of the Cross Dawn clan; leadership was now held by Dande, who had the authority.From the start, he was known for his wisdom in handling issues in every region, and of course, he had to control the territories held by Daigo to prevent conflicts among the remaining clan members.Exactly 10 days after the incident, the atmosphere seemed to be back on track.Flowers bloomed with birds chirping, welcoming a beautiful morning."Ha... it's been a while since I've seen conditions like this!" remarked a neatly dressed man as he looked around.There, two of Dande's envoys were escorting him, accompanying him to where Dande was.Upon entering the room, they bowed in respect to Dande."Lord Dande, I am glad to see you are still in good condition!"Dande grunted roughly as he flicked his ashtray onto the container, disposing of the accumulated ash."Humph... don't joke around, you bothered coming here just to visit me!"Diendrick w
For quite some time, Zeion had only discovered a civilization here, which could be considered quite normal.However, he couldn't just act and get involved in trouble again, but..."Why with him?""His clothes look very strange..."They continued to observe Zeion's appearance, which felt very confusing. This also applied to Zeion, who seemed unaware of why these people were paying attention to him."Uh-oh, did I do something wrong? Why are they suddenly looking at me so cynically?"Instead of continuing like this, he decided to move to a quieter place. From behind the buildings, his eyes scanned the surroundings."What is actually happening? I just arrived here, but they seem to already suspect me... now that I think about it, all of this started from the first town I visited..."His head ached as he remembered all those events."That's it..."At this moment, Zeion's eyes widened as he saw several soldiers coming towards him. The tone of their voices, wrapped in harsh expressions told
Desmon increasingly felt as if his body was permeated by an energy flow that was difficult to explain. He didn't receive any explanation from Zero. However, that wouldn't make him just sit alone. He focused the energy in his right hand and delivered a deadly blow.Dash...The attack hit Zero's face perfectly. Although the blow landed heavily on his face, Zero's body remained unmoved."I can touch him, that means he has summoned energy within his body to sustain this!" The more Desmon realized this, the stronger the energy's presence that permeated his body became. Desmon took the opportunity and kept hitting Zero's face until it bled, but still couldn't make Zero flinch.However, one sharp glance immediately sent shivers down Desmon's spine. The deadly gaze signaled imminent death that seemed to penetrate his body."Wait, what's happening? Why are you staring at me like that?" Desmon asked, still assuming Zero wouldn't respond to his words.And a few moments later, his hands and mouth
At the peak of cultivation, Zero had developed various ways to deal with the formidable powers that could threaten the world, and this was the point where he had to exert all his available energy. He knew it might be impossible, but his perseverance had shown terrifying results.He had mastered almost all elements, and now all elements seemed to want to be on his side.Quickly, Zero attacked, merely raising his right finger, accompanied by a strong wind that condensed into a whirlwind.Desmon's body was immediately struck by the wind, but his legs were still steady to withstand it. Some gravel and rocks aimed at him, but they weren't too important. His body was still protected by an energy shield.Crash...Unfortunately, the desired shield didn’t have resistance against the wind used by Zero."Cih... Groagh..." He immediately responded with a loud roar, the power of sound frequency capable of piercing through anything.Some rocks had formed a barrier to deflect the attack towards Zero
"Nah... Zero..." Zeion interjected during their ongoing training, they often had such small conversations."Yeah, what do you want to say?" Zero asked, sensing Zeion's seriousness."I've noticed that you have high abilities, and usually those with high abilities are afraid or even defeated when faced with pure energy!""Hmmm..." After humming, he chuckled satisfactorily at that question. "Indeed, pure energy is the greatest power in this world!"Zeion sighed, feeling that Zero's words didn't reveal any superiority of pure energy, rather they seemed to consider pure energy as something impossible to achieve."I'll tell you, the power within your body is not the most important thing! In this world, there are many powers capable of balancing pure energy, even stronger!"This knowledge was something Zeion had never imagined; all this time, many people had been afraid to acknowledge pure energy, and many had fought over it like children fighting over toys.Zero wasn't finished yet. He cont
The sting delivered was not just a mere attack; it had caused quite severe effects, to the point where Desmond's breath became irregular."You bastard, he's capable of launching such an attack against me! Why am I completely unable to defeat him?" He tried to observe Zero, who was still surrounded by white energy.Despite possessing pure energy, Desmond felt that Zero's energy was more dominant. The mysterious pressure even caused his entire body to continue trembling uncontrollably.However, it was impossible for Desmond to surrender at a time like this. He dispersed high-level energy, then quickly dashed towards Zero.Thud...The ground trembled; the deathly aura-filled blows could easily be held back. But it wasn't just about holding back; it also created a large gap instantly.Swoosh...Dash...Hard-hitting and impactful blows landed on Desmond's cheek. Unwilling to accept this, Desmond quickly attempted to reply.Swish...Unfortunately, the strength he used was still too early to
Gulp...Nothing could stop Desmon; Zeion's heart had successfully entered his body. Swallowed without any difficulty."Hooh..." The immense power immediately flowed into his body, he could go wild with this strength. "Hahaha... finally, I have become unbeatable! I will dominate this world as the strongest creature..."Tap!This knock was strange, and when he looked, Desmon didn't know why there was a stranger already there, lamenting over Zeion's powerless body."Who is this person? When did he get there? I didn't feel any energy inside his body at all...""Hah... I suspected you still weren't capable of merging with that pure energy!" Zero arrived as soon as Zeion lost the essence of power within Desmon's soul, although faintly, he could still sense it.Just from appearance alone, Desmon could tell that Zero wasn't like Zeion; the energy he possessed was almost invisible."Oi, human, who are you? Why did you suddenly appear here?" Desmon was still kind enough to ask, but he was actua
Dash! Dash! Dash!Their faces were bruised and blue, but their legs still managed to stand tall with the same gaze. Challenging and enticing with death."I never imagined that my strength would be drained facing lowly humans like you!""Do you still consider me a lowly human?" Zeion asked, his eyebrows narrowing, an expression he had restrained since earlier, but now he seemed fed up with Desmon's attitude.Desmon proudly smiled, successfully provoking Zeion's emotions. "I thought your emotions had vanished, but it seems you are still just a fragile human! Let me tell you, humans are too arrogant, always thinking their lives are truly filled with righteousness, but in reality, they are nothing but weak creatures who always oppress the weak! They are not worthy of living in this world..."Zeion didn't understand Desmon's purpose in saying this, but he would still say, "Yes, what you said is true, humans are too arrogant! I was surrounded by people who were too arrogant before, even bor
"I hope you will succeed in doing it!" Zero said, looking ahead. Earlier, he had only briefly spoken with Zeion. But now, only the silent wind accompanied him.With his increasingly wild pure energy, Zeion controlled everything very well. He soared through the air like a bullet, heading towards a point. The increasing energy felt threatening, and as soon as he arrived, as expected.Many people lying in pain, though unseen, the pain they caused was still visible."Hahahaha..." Desmon laughed satisfactorily, but also felt a chill at Zeion's appearance. The aura of majesty sent shivers down his spine, however this sensation was what he desired."Were you the kid from back then?" he asked, his tone intimidating."Yes, the kid you've been targeting for so long, sorry to keep you waiting!""Good, you understand! Pure energy is a power that should rightfully belong to someone great, and the most deserving to possess it is me...""Does it really have to be that way?" Zeion asked, still wearin
This bright light shone on Desmon's body, his eyes still trying to observe his surroundings, attempting to digest the situation that was happening."What are these three going to do? They were just standing still earlier, and now suddenly they're moving!" Desmon then realizes that his body is beginning to harden, his entire body slowly turning to stone, he watches as everything unfolds."You scoundrels, so this is what you planned! How dare you do this to me..." he says loudly.It's pointless; these three won't be afraid or back down; now all processes must be completed immediately. The power begins to spread to every joint, making their bodies increasingly difficult to move."Sleep there, and never return to this world, demon..." Houjin says in his heart, already too sick to witness Desmon's every action.Tap...Unfortunately, Desmon is too skilled to be conquered. Rather than lamenting the fate that awaits him, Desmon instead exerted his energy to charge at one of the hermits, aimin
Yelia's eyes couldn't blink, finding it hard to believe this was all real. The figure that should have been dead from her attack seemed to return, this time floating without any effort."It's impossible. The attack I used earlier should have succeeded in destroying his body, but why is he still free to do as he wants"The most logical answer had crossed her mind; it was a manifestation of Desmon's greatness.Right within the space that was supposed to lead to the realm of torment, Desmon rebelled, causing his immense energy to disrupt the existence of that energy, finally resulting in his current state.But...He landed on the ground again, this time assuming a satisfied stance with what had just occurred. Though only for a few moments, his body was already covered in several burns; the hellish realm he referred to quickly took effect on whoever entered it."That was close. If I were weaker, the chances of getting out would be impossible! But thanks to you, I've become more experience
